Intelligent Risk-Taking:From Vision to Action

Organizations are continuously challenged to make high-risk decisions
in a rapidly changing environment. Intelligent Risk-Taking™ means
acting under conditions where key variables and potential outcomes
are unknown and could be negative, but where risk is required
to achieve superior outcomes. Intelligent risk-taking is essential
to innovation and leading change.

Intelligent Risk-Taking™ provides
you with practical tools and processes to identify your own risk-taking
style and compare it to others. You will apply a framework for
making intelligent decisions about which risks to take and when,
and how to adjust the level and impact of risks. You will develop
ideas for improving entrepreneurial initiatives and influencing
others to support them.

What our clients say:

“The need for Intelligent Risk-Taking in business is paramount in todays competitive environment. However, with that said, the operative word in that sentence is ‘intelligent.’ Wild or uncontrolled risk-taking can be scary, and often damaging to the business. This course has taught many how to evaluate options, assess the actual risks that might be involved, and plan and take INTELLIGENT risks that are productive. Managers have also benefited by understanding how to create a productive culture for risk and innovation in a safe, controlled and strategically aligned manner. Intelligent Risk-Taking is needed at all levels and functions within the corporate environment if optimal efficiencies and effectiveness are to be realized.”

“I highly recommend Intelligent Risk-Taking because it helps individuals and teams look at risk in a systematic way. People don’t deal with risk well and therefore continue to protect the status quo or jump into risky situations and hope for the best. This program empowers people to move forward with the confidence that the risks that they are taking are being managed and provides a framework for continually updating their understanding of the situation as they learn more.”

—Course Participant

“...I had three clear take-aways that I can
incorporate into my career at my company and everyday life outside
of work: the risk wheel,
open-ended questions, and the Intelligent Risk-Taking methodology. To
me, practical take-aways are the litmus test of whether a course was
worthwhile or not, and this one definitely was. Thank you!”
